We get o my house and i unlock the door i hold the door open for her and she goes in.
"Desdemona,I have to tell you something.."
"What is it'
"Follow me." I take her to the fridge and open it,
"Is that...blood?"
"Yes,I have to have it to survive." I look at her face and see its still calm so i tell her "I have this disease where my body doesnt produce enough blood,so instead of going to the hospital everyday i drink this."
"Thats cool,do you need to take some with you?'
"Yes could you get that cooler under the sink?" Well that was suprisingly okay,but if she ever finds out what i really am shell be pissed off. But she shouldnt ever find out...She hands me the cooler and i put ice in it,its not really a cooler more like a lunchbox,i put two bags of blood in there then i go to my room and grab some clothes she walks in and looks around."What."
"Nothing i just thought your room woud be diffrent."
"Diffrent how"
"Mesy,like it be the only room in the house messy."
"I have to keep my room clean,I dont like hving a messy room or house."
"Oh.." I lead her out the house and lock it beind us. We walk back to her house and she opens the door,I dont even ask i just go up to her room."Here ill clean you go find the air mattress,where does everything go?"
"Pants go in that dresser and Shirts go hanging up in the closet,books go on the book shelf,ill put them in ABC order later, CDS go by the computer and if you find my IPod it goes on the table beside the bed,Oh and that box next to the bed? Dont open it." I look over to the box and see that its labeled "Underwear," I wouldnt have opened it anyways. She leaves and i head over to the boxes next to the closet and open it,its full of shirts i look and see that shes not around then at Vampire speed i hang all the shirts up,When im done her closets half full I fold the box and sit it over to the side then look in the next box,Pants,I carry it over to her dresser look and see if shes around when i see shes not i fold them and put them up at Vampire speed,thirty minutes later all the boxes in her room,except the one she told me not to touch, are emptied and put up,and the stuff i didnt know where to put i put them in box next to her poster box and sit on her bed,a few minutes later she comes in,"Wow,it would have took me at lest two hours to put up all that stuff"
"Well those three boxes over there still have stuff in them,Your poster box,the box you told me not to touch and i put the stuff i didnt know what to do with in the third box."
"Thanks Lucifer,I found the mattress now all i have to do is blow it up and go get the sheets out of one of the boxes in the hall closet.'
"Let me blow it up and you go find the sheets and pilliows okay"
"Okay,but its a hand pump."
"I can handle it." She helps me fix it then she leaves and i blow it up and when i get done i go help her.
"Finished already?"
"Yes,Have you found the sheet yet?"
"Yes but my dads cement yard crap is in the way and i cant pick it up.'"
"Ill get it." I pick the box up and she grabs the box with the sheets in it,when shes out of the way i put it bak down"How did you do that? It took my dad and two other guys to pick it up.'
"Ive been moving heavy stuff around since i was twelve so now i culd basically pick up a fridge if i wanted to." she laughs and walks back to her room and i follow her."So why did your parents leave you here by yourself when you just moved in?"
"My oldest sister is having her baby,and shes more important than me,To them im the biggest disappointment,Theyve hated me since i turned ten and relized they expecte me to live up to my brothers and sisters."
"They dont hate you."
"Oh trust me they do,One day my brother,Johnathon, had a big party on the same day i had to give a speech at school and they went to his party insead of coming to see me." I see the tears start to form in her eyes and i take her face in my hands."Desdemona,You are the most beautiful girl,ive seen in my entire life,and if they dont relize how great you are,Screw them,You trust me to stay here with you on the same day you met me,You need someone to be there for you,and ill be that person always." Then the tears fall and she drops the box i shove it with my foot then grab her and pull her into me,"Lucifer you are the first person to ever say that to me,my own parents have never said theyd be there for me,"
"Shhh." i tell her i just stand there and hold her knowing that no mater what id protect this girl,the one i just met less then 10 i tell Haley shes probaby gonna tell me im stupid but i dont care i just know that Desdemona has had more hurt then anyone should have she doesnt diserve this,no girl does, for a parent to pick the other siblings before them.
Then i relize thats excally what my parents did i had a brother a year younger than me and he never had to do anything i was the only child who had to work on the feild and even when i went missing a year later i went back to see how they were doing and found out that Dad was the only one working after that i never went back not even when they died."I know excally how you feel, Desdemona."
"How Lucifer? Youre an only child."
"No im not truth is,I have eleven younger siblings back in Alabama,With my parents..."
"What do you mean back with youre parents?"
"My Father hated me,Every since i was little, I was always the one who had to work an stuff with him,when my other siblings could help,Before i moved i had to move ten bales of hay everyday all by myself no horse, no other person to help,My father didnt care if i broke my back moving it,he didnt care that everynight i had to sleep on my stomach because my back hurt to much to lay on he didnt like me because i was so diffent from him,I Have black hair and blue eyes while all my younger siblings have blonde hair and green eyes, he thought i was someone elses child not his so he didnt care,Truth is i look like my mothers father, And my mother knew but she never said anything to him,I didnt complain not once though because i knew that as soon as i did hed make me do something else,My mother tried to make things better by having a hot bath ready for me when i came in,But when he found out that she was doing that he hit her and she stopped doing it so i had nothing to look forward to at the end of the day,So i just ran away and my Aunt Haley takes care of me,she gives me money for whatever i need and stuf like that."
"Im sorry that makes me sound like a baby or complaining."
"No dont ever think that Desdemona,I just wanted you to know that i know how you feel." I wipe the tears from her eyes and look at her clock."Its midnight we should o to bed since we have school tomorow." I open the box and grab the sheets,blackets and pilliows fix the mattress and go to the bathroom,chng into my PJs. When i come out shes sittin on her bed "Lucifer,I dont care if i never make anther friend at school,Im glad that i met you."
"Im glad i met you too." she lays down and i turn out the light, lay down on the air mattress "Lucifer what time do you want to wake up?"
"Well,We'll have to stop by my house and drop my stuf off and school starts at 8:30,what time are you waking up?"
"Seven have to take a shower nd everything.."
"OKay wake me up at seven thirty."
"Night Lucifer,"
"Goodnight Desdemona."
I wake up to Desdemona standing over me calling my name "Lucifer wake up,"
"Hm...?"
"Its seven twenty i figured you wantd to take a shower to." I get up.
"Thanks ill be right back," I grab my bag and go to the bathroom turn the shower on hop in wash my hair and everything get out and put my clothes on then go back to her room." minutes,i wish my showers could be that fast,i ended up waking up at six so i could take a longer one."
"Ha." I grab my lunch box and get a blood bag open it and drink it I look over at her and see her watching me in fasatantion.
"It doesnt even look like it bothers you,it actully looks like you...enjoy it."
"Actully i do, to me its really sweet, the doctors dont know i drink it."
"Well Im hungry are you?"
"No,the blood fills me up but you can eat." She heads out the door and i grab my stuff and walk out with her,she goes to the kithen and fixs herself some ceral."I hate that stuff."
"What..Ceral? You can drink blood but you cant eat ceral?'
"Nope." I grab the other bag and open it and start to drink it. After she finishes her bowl of ceral,we leave and go to my house i go to my room and put the bag on my bed"So if you live her by yourself whats in the room next door?"
"A bed and dresser." i walk out and open the door and let her see the white room with the bed and dresser.
"Well we better get to school." I look at the hall clock at see that its 8:20
"Yeah or well be late,not that i care but you proubly do." she shakes her head but i dont give her a time to deny it i push her out of the house we walk to school and run in to the jocks
"Look at the two freaks in love."
"Shut up Seth." I tell him
"What you dont want me calling you a freak what if i say your girlfriend is pathtic, and noone will ever love her,But some freak like you." I see Desdemona holding back tears and i charge at seth i get him in a headlock and cut off his breathing "Listen here you apolize to her and never, say anything to her again or i will end your life,For good." i let him go "Im sorry,Ill never say anything else to you again,I swear." Desdemona justs looks at the ground i go over and grab her hand,pull her away from the crowd"Dont listen to him,Hes just mad that his girlfriend wasnt as pretty as you are."
"what happened to his grirlfriend?"
"Noone knows she went missing a couple of days before you got here."
" Do we have to stay or can we leave?I dont care what my parents say ill just leave if they say anything which they wont because they dont care." Theirs the tears again.
" Where do you want to go?"
"I dont care as long as its not here." I nod and take her out the back way where we're less likly to run in anyone
